  • Failed when I needed it most

    Bought this. DOWNLOADED specific area map for offline use. Got to trailhead, all looked good. Got three miles in, all looked good. Note that I was on airplane mode and app worked great. Then about five miles in near a 12,000 pass, storm blowing in and no trail visible — the app goes black. Nothing. No map. Nothing. Restart the app. Nothing. Restart phone. Nothing. Black screen. Cannot zoom out, in. Nothing. Dead app. Fortunately I had another app on my phone that wasn’t as sexy, BUT THE OTHER APP WORKED! Not as detailed or nifty as this one (when it worked), but that other app got me on the trail and off the pass before the lightning and hail hit. When this app works, 5/5. But when I needed it most, it totally failed. -5/5. And yes, I tested it without cell and without wifi several times and it worked. Do not recommend for critical situations.

    Trail conditions, water location and conditions, local services and hostels, warnings, navigation. The whole enchilada!

  • Used it for 10+ years with only 2 freeze issues

    In 2025 and 2026, I found the app completely freezes up after recording the hikes on the John Muir Trail for 4 days without having cell service to connect back to the mothership. The app would open, but would immediately freeze up with no buttons working until I killed the app. This was devastating in the middle of a long thru hike. I had to delete the app and reinstall it to get it to work again and that lost the track recording I did for those days. This is a major bug.

  • Froze during JMT hike

    While the water and comment features are good, do not rely on this for your navigation. After day 3 it quit working. When I opened the app it just froze. Restarting phone and app did nothing. A friend off trail gave suggestions through my Garmin in Reach but none worked. The app froze a couple of days later for the person I was hiking with. It’s unacceptable for a back country navigation app to completely lock up and become useless. Fortunately we had paper maps and used Strava to track time and miles traveled. HAVE MAPS DOWNLOADED ON A DIFFERENT APP. DO NOT RELY solely on FarOut.

  • The Bandwagon of Mediocrity!

    FarOut, an essential app for all hikes! Glad to see they hopped on the modern app development bandwagon of unstable glitchy mediocrity. New aesthetics > functionality. All these apps change for the sake of change and nothing more, using the same cookie cutter formula and it is soooooooooooo bad.

  • Super helpful!

    Guided me through the Appalachian trail without any issues! Used it offline after downloading the maps without issue.

  • Thru hiker essential

    Fantastic for thru hiking. Don’t know what I would’ve done without it. My only improvement idea would be a rating system for how hard a trail is based on conditions. Not elevation but how technical a section is.

  • So useful

    Super useful tool for the backcountry that helps me stay connected through their posts

  • App is Buggy

    Overall the app offers a great experience. I have purchased all the PCT Apps and used for many years. There is one major issue that all of you should be aware of. It has been around awhile and still not fixed. Do not have the app open while turning your phone off airplane mode. If you do it will do a search probably to see if you have a subscription or purchase. If you have poor cell service the link to your maps disappear. The dowloaded maps remain but you can’t access. If however you created a route, you can access those and get access to the downloaded maps and comments. I am guessing most people don’t have routes created so you are in danger of loosing access to maps while on trail. This is one of the reasons, I have paper maps and a compass. But I am guessing many users don’t have this as a back up. So this could be a safety issue.

  • Great for multi-day backpacking trips

    I downloaded this on recommendation by my friend who goes backcountry trips. I downloaded and saw that there are 2 options. One single trail map that you pay for and will be yours, or you subscribe for a time and explore different trails. I found the subscription to be more useful, though for through hikers one trail may be useful. I found them to be expensive, that is why 4 stars. I am yet to see how it turns out. I could map my next backpacking trip on this and see the water sources, campsites, shelters and so far it looks good! Much better than onX in my opinion.
